BC Liberals unveil ‘BC United’ as potential new name
KAMLOOPS — After months of talks within its membership, the BC Liberal Party announced a potential name change.
In a news release issued Tuesday (Sept. 27), the BC Liberals announced its members will decide by year’s end if “BC United” will be its new name.
The BC Liberals state a potential party name change was a key commitment made by new leader Kevin Falcon. The process began at the party’s June convention in Penticton where it says two-thirds of delegates voted in favour in considering a new name.
“I want to thank all the members who have taken part in the process so far, and I urge them to participate in the vote when the time comes later this year,” Falcon states. “I’ll personally be voting in favour of changing the party name, and I’m hopeful our members do too.”
